Today’s listening is ‘The Rutles’, the seminal 1977 album by The Rutles.
This is a compilation of The Rutles' greatest hits, taken from their classic albums such as ‘Meet The Rutles’, ‘Sgt. Rutters Only Darts Club Band’ and ‘Shabby Road’.
Here, the pre-fab four (Ron Nasty, Dirk McQuickly, Stig O’Hara and Barry Wom) show how Rutlemania shook the world.
My favourite tracks are 'Ouch!' and 'Let's Be Natural'.
Best enjoyed with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Did well today at a local community hall sale. First up #TheRutles. US #vinyl pressing with a delicious 20 page insert and sleeve notes to die for. Never mind the brilliant music either, £12. Happy boy
The sadly late but always great Neil Innes, interviewed in 2019:
@oldbritishtelly “yeah I did tea …biscuits too” - had a chance to see #TheRutles in #Caernarfon a couple of years ago but didn’t bother - feel a bit gutted I didn’t now 🙁
Happy birthday to the finest Neil Innes there ever was. ❤️ #Rutles #TheRutles #NeilInnes #DooDah #Bonzo #Idiot
